Given the increase of cyber security attacks in recent years, it has become important to spread security awareness among all users, as this could affect their lives at home and at work. Such competitions encourage students to stay up to date to research and learn about the latest threats and attacks, as well as keep up with the best counter measures."

The Cyber Quest competition includes a Training Round that introduces participants to different aspects of cyber security in order to develop their skills in preparation for the final competition which tests students on a wide spectrum of cyber security skills.
